3. Warehouse-Friendly: Stored flat when folded, they take up minimal space, significantly reducing warehousing costs.
4. Brand Promotion: Custom-printed air-cushioned boxes serve as mobile brand advertisements, boosting customer repeat purchase rates.
5. Eco-friendly: Made from recyclable paper, these boxes meet environmental standards and align with the beauty industry’s sustainability trends.

6. Customisation Tips for the Eyelash Industry
- For eyelash products, we recommend a 3-layer E-flute white cardboard display box, which offers clear printing, sufficient rigidity and moderate cost.
- Bubble wrap or foam padding can be placed inside the box to further protect the shape of the eyelashes and prevent deformation during transit.
- When customising, you can reserve space for an inner tray to accommodate eyelash trays, thereby improving packing efficiency.
